Altered Bottle with Shine

This is my project for this month's Creative Artiste.  Our sponsor this month is Hannah Oxberry, Mixed Media Artist.  Make sure you visit her blog and shop for creative ideas.

I decided this month to try another effect to alter a glass bottle.  I used chalk paint and acrylic paint for the first layer on my bottle and choose lighter colours because I really need spring to be here. To give the bottle some shine I used a combination of gold, copper and silver leaf along with a couple of mica powders. 

  Some other views of the bottle.

I embellished the bottle with a rubber stamp by the Old Island Rubber Stamp company , a metal heart, lace, beads  and a crystal from an old wall hanging.
